That's Sooooooo Greek

The Greeks weren't all just a bunch of Olympians, or people with gods for just about everything. They were also great inventors. The map was an invention by the Greeks, a big invention that we use today. They also invented the thermometer, a really big invention we use when it comes to sick children, and adults (mostly sick children whining that they have a headache or trying to stay home from school). They're pretty smart, but I don't see them with 3D movies. What is one thing that you wish you knew the origins from?

    The map is becoming less and less popular since iPhones and GPS. I think it is very important to be able to be able to read and understand maps! What happens when you are lost in the woods and you have to battery all you have is a map, which is only helpful if you know how to use one!

    I agree that maps are a very important invention. If Greeks hadn't invented maps then we wouldn't have all the iPhone maps or the GPSs. I honestly think that the regular maps could possibly be more reliable. For example GPSs and IPhones don't work underground while paper maps do. Which do you think is better?
